It does not. This is what I get when I try and run dselect with the

Either that or make dpkg-ftp work :) After receiving a flood of
email from people on the list I understand how it's supposed to work, why it
is that way, but not why it's not working for me. I like the idea of having
very small of boot disks for an install.. that is one of the things that
attracted me to Debian in the first place.

I wish I had a CD on that box :( Unfortunately I don't, otherwise I
would have bought the current disk. I am diskette only at this time...
Thanks for the announce list info! :)
